Do not watch this on home TV-set...

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2013)

Went in to the viewing with overall low expectations, and movie didn't disappoint me! Expected great CGI with mediocre story and acting, and got exactly that. As great visuals demand more than a 51" screen with built-in speakers to carry through on it's own, though, uninvolving acting and predictable plot just dragged overall viewing experience all down. My recommendation is therefore to watch "Pacific Rim" in the movie theater where the audio-visuals comes to their rights, and leaves you with the final impression.
In any case: Leave your brains in the wardrobe...
Del Toro had full control on both writing and directing "El laberinto del fauno"(Pans Labyrinth), and made a masterpiece. Hopefully upcoming "Pinocchio" will pay tribute to his ability to make art when both writing and directing. Till then, "Iron Man" ticks all the right boxes, and leaves this rip-off in (and together with) Oblivion.
CGI= 7 Contence= 2 Viewing experience on home TV= 3 Overall= 4
